Uninitialized constant Haml::Options

#1

My previously-working middleman installs seem to have succumbed to the usual bitrot, and have abruptly started throwing the error:

bundler: failed to load command: middleman (/Users/angus/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.6.5/bin/middleman)
NameError: uninitialized constant Haml::Options
  /Users/angus/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.6.5/gems/middleman-core-5.0.0.rc.1/lib/middleman-core/renderers/haml.rb:49:in `initialize'
  /Users/angus/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.6.5/gems/middleman-core-5.0.0.rc.1/lib/middleman-core/extension_manager.rb:70:in `new' 
(rest of stack trace snipped)

I’m seeing this running locally on MacOS with middleman-5.0.0rc1 and haml-6.0, and remotely on Ubuntu with the same combination (it also occurred with a much older version of middleman, 2.3.3).

Has anyone else run across this issue, or can suggest a fix? Thank you.

#2

I’m having the same issue on a brand new project.

ruby 3.1.2p20 (2022-04-12 revision 4491bb740a) [arm64-darwin21]

All middleman commands result in:

Hello,

this issue is treated on middleman git

There is a workaround.

You should use haml version below 6.0 on your local system.
You can check it using command haml -v.

Or

Force middleman to use haml below 6.0
by adding this to your gem.
gem 'haml', '>= 4.0.5', '< 6.0'
